THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES
A UNIVERSAL FMC DESIGNED FOR MOST OF THE FSX © AIRCRAFT AND A SOUND PACKAGE.
Many users had requested the JSGPanels ® Boeing FMC can be installed in other
aircraft, in one word, a “UNIVERSAL FMC”. HERE IT IS !!! It includes the SOUND
PACKAGE with sounds of devices and copilot voiceand some sophisticated
functions such as PUSHBACK.

3. THE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT
COMPUTER (FMC)
FMC Overview
At initialization, the FMC looks like this
(depending on the aircraft type):
It contains many powerful features. It
will:
a)
follow
an FSX FLIGHTPLAN (or by other software and imported into FSX), including the selected APPROACH PHASE,
both horizontally and vertically and in accordance with defined speeds, allowing it to be changed if required
during the flight;
b)
manage
the TAKE-OFF thrusts and the climb thrust TOGA, MAX THRUST, CRUISE
and AUTOMATIC according to the economic index and weather parameters;
c)
calculate
optimum V1, VR, V2 and cruise speed according to the cruise
altitude; calculating speeds in both knots
AND mach;
d)
control
the LNAV (Longitudinal Navigation) and VNAV (Vertical Navigation) functions when climbing, cruising and
descending, taking into account economic speeds and altitudes, user-modified
speeds and altitudes and TRANSIT and
RESTRICTED speeds and altitudes;
e)
manage
the function cruise “economic climb”
when the aircraft loses weight due to fuel having been burned, in accordance
with either the ICAO standard or a user-defined value;
f)
manage
the complete HOLD function at an
actual position, programmed altitude or at a predefined waypoint with
adjustable leg time or distance, speed and altitude;
g)
manage
the FIX function, for heading to a
specified VOR;
h)
display
all necessary information relating to:
ATC - flight number, aircraft ident,
etc...,
VNAV - speeds and altitudes,
LEGS - giving for each the
waypoint, heading, distance and altitude,
PROGRESS - the actual position, the previous
and next waypoints and the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) and fuel at the
destination airport,
APPROACH SPEED - useful information on the flap
settings and corresponding speed limits required during an approach, speed and
aircraft weight,
NAV – this displays radios, both active
and standby, OBS and radials. Searches and retrieves the NAV ILS & COMM
codes by entering the ICAO name directly in the FMC.
COMM - radios, both active and
standby, transponder and ADF,
POSITION - the current position of the
aircraft at the departure airport and (for fun) the three positions of the
three IRSs (Inertial Reference Systems);
i)
allow direct data entry of all data into all
function pages, VORs ILSs and STARs retrieval by entering
directly the ICAO code with mouse clicks on the FMC keyboard itself on
the screen;
j)
follow
the APPRAOCH and TRANSITION retrieved as described above,
k)
allow the brightness of the display to be adjusted for night flights on both
the FMC and the PFD (Primary Flight Display) MFD (Multi Functions display),
RADIOs and EICAS Upper and Lower;
l)
allow
the aircraft to be flown manually (providing the ROUTE has not been activated);
m)
Retrieve
an ALTERNATE AIRPORT depending on runway length and airport distance,
n)
The
brightness of the FMC screen can be adjusted,
o)
last
but not least, manage the fully
automatic autoland, from the ILS capture to the full stop on the runway.
However it will NOT:
Create directly flight plans.
(However Flight Simulator itself and other good quality software packages available
on the Net do it so well.)

FMC
- CDU Summary
The
CDU contains many pages, each of which relates to a specific FMC function. They
are selected with the Mode Select keys. In addition, some keys such as INIT REF and VNAV themselves contain several sub-pages.
Pressing
a key (mouse click on a FMC button) automatically displays a page containing
data updated to reflect the current contents of the FMC, the location of the
aircraft and the setting of the controls. Pages can also be selected by
clicking on the PREV PAGE or NEXT PAGE buttons or can be chosen from
a list by selecting the < INDEX
prompt.

Initialization) displays the aircraft weights, cruise altitude and cost index,
q
THRUST
LIMIT displays the
